White House memo casts Dario Amodei as the face of AI 'doomerism' weeks before Anthropic's IPO
Axios / Yahoo News / IBTimes·high signal
Axios reported on Sep 24 that Trump allies are passing around a White House memo claiming effective altruism 'built the AI-doom pipeline'. The memo names Dario Amodei and Daniela Amodei as people who 'built the [EA] network'. It came one day after Amodei told the UN Security Council that advanced AI could pose 'a risk to humanity as a whole'. Follow-up coverage says Anthropic moved its IPO from October to November, with a valuation near $2T under discussion, so the safety argument now has a direct cost in the listing.
